Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted January 4, 2016 looking back at the 2 sweepstakes for college D men we were involved in i was wondering how you all think we did . back in 2012 it was the Justin Schultz show where we put forward a good pitch but came up empty handed. then a year later saw us enter the Danny DeKeyser which we won due mainly to the home front situ. both are well into what promises to be good NHL careers and a quick check on their progress shows that we may just have come out on top with our signing. to date Schultz has a record of pl 229 g 26 a 69 t 95 pts 44 pims and a rather poor -65. our boy DD has record to date pl 191 g 8 a 56 t 63 pts 90 pims and a +30 rating. although DeKeyser was never a prolific scorer in NCAA compared to Schultz i feel his $2,187,500 is somewhat better value than what the Oilers are paying Schultz $3,900,000, both are due renewing at seasons end, wonder who'll get the better deal. So do you think in hindsight Detroit got the better all round or would Schultz have thrived more in the Redwings system? Would we have gone for Dekeyser as well if we had of signed Schultz ? Also, i think we have got a steal in Russo for the blueline too, he's on course for a 40pt+ rookie season. 1 nawein reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matt198913 932 Report post Posted January 4, 2016 Absolutely 65 is a D man that you can build around. Shultz while very talented offensively is the kind of guy that's added to your roster later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
